I’m having trouble figuring out if we’re racist for ignoring the obesity “epidemic”, or if we’re racist for fat shaming.

Both.

Our betters are sorting that out for us, so rest easy, Comrade. Pay attention and do as you are commanded, and everything will be fine.

“Health comes in all sizes.”

No, no it doesn’t.

In the end, the problem is simple: prepared high calorie food is too cheap and too easily available. If you had to plop down half a day’s pay to make that pizza yourself, starting with mixing and kneading the dough, people would eat a lot less of them. Doing something about it is another matter entirely, especially if you do not live in a prison. But I am certain that doctors spouting psychobabble will not help.
